Keith M. Fletcher Excellence in Ethics Scholarship

The Keith M. Fletcher Excellence in Ethics Scholarship is for law students and prospective law students in Texas. One should be currently enrolled in or accepted to a US law school, to submit a completed essay discussing the important of pro-bono legal work. All applicants must submit a 1,000 word or more essay. The Texas State Bar for attorneys (as well as other state bar organization) highly encourages attorneys to perform pro-bono work. The essay should focus on the importance of providing free legal services to those who cannot afford it, and why this is beneficial to the community at large and to the legal system as a whole.
